This reverts commit af273b4de9.
While RFC 3264 (SDP) says that sendonly/recvonly are from the point of view of
the requester, the actual RTSP RFCs (RFC 2326 / 7826) disagree and say
the opposite, just like the ONVIF standard.
Let's follow those RFCs as we're doing RTSP here, and add a property at
a later time if needed to switch to the SDP RFC behaviour.

This works around a bug in various ONVIF cameras that implement the
attributes the wrong way around. They still won't work with a
backchannel but at least normal playback will work for the time being.
It restores pre-1.14 behaviour where we would fail to preroll on any SDP
that lists a recvonly stream. For 1.16 a better solution should be
found.
The problem here is that the ONVIF spec has the meaning of the two
attributes the wrong way around in the examples, compared to RFC4566.

We can't handle recvonly streams, sendonly streams are perfectly fine.
The direction is the one from the point of view of the SDP offerer
(i.e. the RTSP server), and a recvonly stream would be one where the
server expects us to send media.
RFC 3264, section 5.1:
If the offerer wishes to only send media on a stream to its peer, it
MUST mark the stream as sendonly with the "a=sendonly" attribute.
This is mixed up in the ONVIF streaming specification examples, but
actual implementations and conformance tools seem to not care at all
about the attributes.

When receiving a seek event, check whether we can actually seek based
on the information the server provided.
Also add more documentation on what the seekable field means
Meaning that the interleave fields have to be updated as
if streams setup was working when using pipelined setup
request. Otherwise there is a mismatch between the server
channel count and our own.
This also makes RTSP 2.0 over HTTP working.

- Handle version negotation:
Added a `default-version` property so that the user can configure
what to use in case the server does not support version negotation
(which actually exist)
- Handle pipelined requests, which allow avoiding full round trip to
setup the RTP streams (request are sent in a raw, and response are
handled as they arrive).
- Handle the new Media-Properties header
- Handle the new Seek-Style header
- Handle the new Accept-Ranges header
Handling of IPV6 should already be OK.
We are still missing (at least) the following features (which do not
seem really mandatory as they require a "persistent connection between
server and client"):
- Server to Client TEARDOWN command (Not so usefull fmpov)
- PLAY_NOTIFY (not needed for our server yet)
- Support for the new REDIRECT features
and probably some more protocol changes might not be handled yet.

Timestamp offsets needs to be checked to detect unrealistic values
caused for example by NTP clocks not in sync. The new parameter
max-ts-offset lets the user decide an upper offset limit. There
are two different cases for checking the offset based on if
ntp-sync is used or not:
1) ntp-sync enabled
Only negative offsest are allowed since a positive offset would
mean that the sender and receiver clocks are not in sync.
Default vaule of max-ts-offset = 0 (disabled)
2) ntp-sync disabled
Both positive and negative offsets are allowed.
Default vaule of max-ts-offset = 3000000000
The reason for different default values is to be backwards
compatible.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=785733
Instant large changes to ts_offset may cause timestamps to move
backwards and also cause visible effects in media playback. The new
option max-ts-offset-adjustment lets the application control the rate to
apply changes to ts_offset.

We currently send data to the RTSP connection from multiple threads:
whenever a command is to be handled and whenever RTCP is generated. This
can cause data corruption or worse if both happen at the same time.
As such, protect gst_rtsp_connection_send() and gst_rtsp_connection_receive()
calls with a mutex. While this means that we hold a mutex during the IO
operation, this is not actually a problem as the IO operation can be
interrupted (gst_rtsp_connection_flush()) at any time and is blocking by
itself anyway.
If no clock was provided directly by rtspsrc. This behaviour was removed
by f8013487c9 and results in rtspsrc not
providing the system clock via the rtpjitterbuffer.
As a result, if another element like an audio sink, provides a clock,
the pipeline would select that (when going to PAUSED/PLAYING again later).
Audio clocks usually don't progress in PAUSED, and thus our live source
won't be able to use the clock to produce data, making the sink never
preroll and everything is stuck.
Redirect on PLAY wasn't doing the necessary session cleanup. Fixed by
removing code from gst_rtspsrc_send that changed the state varable upon
encountering a redirect. Better to let the redirect handlers in
gst_rtspsrc_retrieve_sdp and gst_rtspsrc_play do their own
state-dependent cleanup.

Improve RFC2326 - chapter C.3 compatibility:
In case just a single stream is specified in SDP and the control attribute
is missing do not drop the stream but rather assume "a=control:*"

This solves a hanging mainloop in following scenario:
* connect to source
* network/server drops
* pipeline set to NULL (and connection to flushing as part)
* pipeline set to PAUSED/PLAYING (connection to non-flushing, but not recorded)
* [connecting still not possible]
* pipeline set to NULL => mainloop hangs (since no actual flushing is done)

Highlights of the features provided are:
* Faster builds on Linux (~40-50% faster)
* The ability to build with MSVC on Windows
* Generate Visual Studio project files
* Generate XCode project files
* Much faster builds on Windows (on-par with Linux)
* Seriously fast configure and building on embedded
... and many more. For more details see:

Building with Meson should work on both Linux and Windows, but may
need a few more tweaks on other operating systems.
Some servers add properties like charset, e.g.
application/sdp; charset=utf8
Ideally we should also parse the charset and do conversion of all messages,
but that's for a later time.
If we consider the RTSP state, what can happen is that it is PLAYING but the
element already asynchronously tried to PAUSE and it just did not happen yet.
We would then override this setting to PAUSED (while the element actually is
in PAUSED) and set the RTSP state to PLAYING again. This would then cause us
to produce packets while the sinks are all PAUSED, piling up thousands of
packets in the rtpjitterbuffer and other elements and finally failing.
